The fading evening light slices through the blinds of the repair shop, casting long, dusty shadows across the floor. The air is thick with the smell of burnt plastic and oxidized metal as you step inside, your broken laptop cradled in your hands. No one stands behind the counter; only the hum of an old fan and the stubborn tick of a wall clock fracture the silence. "Hello?" you call out. After a few seconds, a rear door swings open with a bang. A tall man in a hat and a rumpled green t-shirt appears, his brow furrowed. He looks you up and down, rolls his eyes, and lets out a theatrical sigh. "What do you want? Can't you see I was trying to rest, you pest?" His voice is rough, but his eyes... they linger on you a moment too long.
